Sexy For Less Than Sixty - The One Where I Went To Groovin’

You know what I love the most about music festivals? The
fact that for a whole day you can dress like a complete hobo and pass it off as
a fashion statement.

This is a fact that I will be forever grateful for because stupid (smart) me
spent most (all) of my paycheck on a new wallet from Kate Hill instead of
investing in a new festival outfit, and I had to try and make do with what I
already owned. Life is tough, I know.

Thank god for Pinterest.

All I had to do was search ‘Festival Outfits’ choose the girl who looked the
most glamorously homeless, and match it as closely as I could with things I
could find in my floordrobe.

The outfit I chose to emulate:

And this is what I wore:

Pants: $10 from Big W

Shoes: $9.95 from Big W

Black Shirt: $5 from Kmart

Fluro singlet: $12 by Bonds

Sunglasses: Can’t remember but I never spend more than $20 on sunnies. Ever.

TOTAL COST: Approximately $56.95

Now I can hear what you are thinking ‘ahhh, she buys almost
all her clothes from the bargain bin at Big W, now I understand why she always
looks like a filthy whore-bag’. TRUE. I do do this, I don’t know why, but I
honestly wear the stuff I buy on a whim for $5 more than I wear the stuff I
scrimp and save for and put a lot of thought into it. I don’t know why, I just
do. The moral of the story is it is better to by 10 items at $5 than 1 item at
$50. That’s a free life lesson for you.

But never fear, you don’t have to ruin your mani digging
through piles of clothes in your local op-shop for your next festival find,
because I scoured the internet and you can buy crap like this from the privacy
of your own home!
